Za EX FILMOFILE Anamnesis
Postoje likovi koji daju dobru i oni koji nude lošu energiju.
OdgovoriIzbrišiNema te depresije iz koje me Del ne može izvući. Mali-veliki čovjek, dobri duh preživljavanja. I to iz vremena kada su vrline hodale pod ruku sa manama. Danas nije tako, vrline su potkazane, a mane su "in", "kul" ili kako već.
Del se ne može ponoviti u bliskoj budućnosti, ni na TV-u ni u realnosti. On je, nakon liberalnog kapitalizma (kao filozofije života) sredio i komunizam, dokazavši da ne postoji "bolje sutra", već tek bolje juče... Iz kog nam maše sa stricem i Rodnijem, kao sa neke napuštene obale.
